Speed Dating at Planted Cafe

Speed Dating Mashup Night at Planted Café

Four themes. One room. Real connections.

Join us for a high-energy Speed Dating Mashup Night at Planted Café — a fun, social evening designed to spark genuine connections in a relaxed, welcoming space.

This event features multiple themed sign-up tracks happening together on the same night. While guests select a theme when registering, everyone participates together in the full rotation. The themes are designed as conversation starters — not boundaries.

The magic happens when you stay open.

THEMED SIGN-UP TRACKS

When registering, you’ll choose one of the following interest tracks:

⭐ Open / No Specific Theme

Perfect for first-timers or anyone who prefers a classic speed-dating experience without a specific niche.

🐆 Cougars & Cubs

For those open to age-diverse dating, confident connections, and playful chemistry across generations

🎮 Gamers, Geeks & Pop Culture Fanatics

For lovers of gaming, sci-fi, fantasy, comics, tech, trivia, fandoms, and all things nerd-adjacent.

🫣 Introverts Who Somehow Came Anyway

A cozy, low-pressure speed dating night for introverts, creatives, overthinkers, shy extroverts, and anyone exhausted by dating apps and loud bars. No weird pickup energy. No forced performances. Just real conversations with other people who also almost didn’t come.

Guests will receive a visible color identifier at check-in reflecting their selected theme.

EVENT FORMAT

• Timed speed-dating rotations
• Hosted and guided throughout the evening
• Casual, friendly atmosphere
• Bar and café offerings available
• Opportunity to mingle before and after rotations
• Matches submitted after the event

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ (EXPECTATIONS)

This is a Speed Dating Mashup Event.

✔ Everyone rotates and meets all participants
✔ Themes are interest-based, not dating restrictions
✔ There is no opting out of rotations by theme
✔ Chemistry, curiosity, and connection come first

By registering, you acknowledge that this event is designed as a shared social experience, not separate or siloed dating groups.

WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR

• Heterosexual singles
• Ages 21+
• Open-minded, respectful, curious people
• Anyone tired of dating apps and ready to meet people IRL

STAY FOR OPEN MIC NIGHT 🎤

After speed dating wraps, the night continues.

Planted Café will be hosting Open Mic Night later the same evening, right in the same space. Attendees are encouraged — and very welcome — to stick around, grab a drink, support performers, or even sign up to share something themselves.

It’s a great way to keep conversations going and enjoy the broader community vibe.
